At CFS (Cruz Fighting Systems), we provide reality-based self-defense training in Los Angeles, California for kids, teens, and adults. Our programs are designed to build confidence, awareness, character, and real-world personal safety skills—not just uniforms and belts.
Led by Sifu / Coach Vinny Cruz, CFS delivers practical self-defense training rooted in real-life scenarios, mental resilience, and functional fitness.
Bullying is a serious issue in today’s schools. Research shows that 1 in 5 children ages 6–12 experience bullying, often without telling their parents. Left unaddressed, bullying can damage a child’s confidence, emotional health, and sense of security. The CFS Anti-Bullying Self-Defense Program for Kids is a life-changing, reality-based training system that teaches children how to protect themselves mentally, emotionally, and physically.
Our kids program is deeply rooted in character development, emphasizing: – Respect for self and others – Humility and self-control – Perseverance and resilience.
Classes are fun, engaging, and structured, while remaining educational and goal-oriented. Parents consistently notice improvements in confidence, posture, communication, and emotional control.
This is true reality-based self-defense for kids—not just memorizing moves or collecting belts.
The teenage years are challenging. As teens gain independence, they often lack the real-world experience needed to safely navigate dangerous situations. At the same time, many teens are reluctant to admit fear or uncertainty.
As a father of three daughters, Sifu / Coach Vinny Cruz understands these challenges firsthand.
The CFS Teen Self-Defense Program addresses modern threats head-on—without fear-based teaching. Instead, we focus on education, awareness, and empowerment.
This program prepares teens to make smarter decisions, protect themselves, and move through the world with confidence.
The CFS Reality-Based Self-Defense System for Adults is a weapons-based, close-range self-defense method designed for real street attacks and violent encounters.
Training includes both stand-up and ground self-defense, preparing students for unpredictable, high-stress situations.
If you’re serious about learning true reality-based self-defense, and not just wearing a uniform and belt. Then this program is for you.
Spots are limited to maintain high-quality instruction.
